Blow me! And you’re complaining?
I had to buy a car when I changed roles, bought a 4 year old C-max 1.6 petrol, the empitomy of a boring average car. Not some fancy 60+mpg thing. And I think I paid off the car, plus all the costs or running it in 2 years at 45p/mile (about 1000 miles a month). And that was while petrol was 1.40 a litre.
Makes my 45p per mile look a bit measley, though the tax man will want to know about the difference?
I wasn’t actually complaining about the rate but was wondering about how they figure certain costs have fallen by so much and if others had noticed big drops in costs.
And I’d take a flat rate of 45p a mile for 1000 miles per month gladly as ours drops to 20p per mile after 3500.
You’d get 45p x 12000 = £5400
Id get 54p x 3500 then 20p for the remaining 8500 miles = £3600
So in a year you’d be £1800 better off.
So it’s yours that looks good, not ours.
